It was an obvious penalty… I was screaming at my TV that it didn’t get called.
________________________

Yes, as if there aren’t obvious penalties by both teams in every single game every single week aren’t called.

The Pats repeatedly had pass rushers literally tackled from behind by O-linemen against the Jets last week right in front of the official but they were never called for holding on those plays. So what ? There were a few things that the Pats could well have been called for but weren’t as well.

Seriously…. you’re criticizing me for being upset that an obvious flag wasn’t thrown…

The play resulted in a first down and the drive resulted in a TD.

I’m not a fan of these new rules but I didn’t write the rules. And if they’re there, I expect them to be enforced….

It may be a weird rule, but it exists and the officials should flag it, especially in obvious cases. Manning wasn’t expecting Battle to lower his head and ram him. You know why? Because he knows it’s against the freaking rules.

Plus the announcers of that game were complete idiots.

The conversation about the safety on Chris Johnson was just absurd….

You were screaming for a penalty after your defender got run over? You sir should go watch badminton or something. And here I thought Texans were tough folk.

He can’t provide the answers, so you guys should hit him with those questions that would stump him!
